About London - Camden
Long the home to many of London’s different, disturbed, and down right cool, Camden has a reputation in independent and alternative living which sees the streets packed with studded misfits, indie wannabes and international tourists.
Despite becoming a bit more mainstream these days, Camden retains its air of quintessentially English cool and rock ‘n’ roll celebrities can still be found frequenting some of the famous pubs and live music venues in the area. A mish-mash of fashion and anti-fashion, Camden is a complex blend of pretty much everything that is right (and in some people’s opinion - wrong) with Britain.
